Activists hoping to revive the passions of Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream for America gathered Saturday in steamy weather to com memorate the 30th anniversary of the March on Wash ington. At noon, members of King's family led marchers toward the Lincoln Memorial, where on Aug. 28, 1963, the eloquent preacher electrified the nation with his "I Have a Dream" speech. More than 200,000 people marched that day to demand full voting rights and an end to segregation. Attorney General Janet Reno linked arms with the Rev. Jesse Jackson, as the crowd moved down the grassy Mall. Coretta Scott King, her four children and sister-in-law, Christine King Farris, led the way. There was no central speaker, but more than 50 people were invited to address the crowd, including Jackson, former Atlanta mayor Andrew Young and Congressman John Lewis, D-Ga., who spoke as a stu dent leader at the 1963 march. Tm here to fulfill the rest of the dream, not just to get in the door but to get a job and have a job," said Dar nell Young, a Ford motor plant worker from Lorraine, Ohio, who said he wasn't even bom when King led the original march. Others who streamed across the Mall were like Young, born after the march. Many wore union t-shirts or carried signs for the AFL-CIO and other labor groups which were instrumental in mobilizing crowds for the first march. One man had on a sweatshirt that read "Damn Right I've Got an Attitude. My People Worked 400 Years Without a Paycheck." Parents arrived with their children, and small groups sang old civil rights songs.

MOSS Chronicle Staff Writer If you want a lesson on the ravages of crack and the rewards of being saved, just ask Cassaundra "Cassie" Hayes. She can tell you the whole story and won't hesitate to do so, especially if she thinks you're headed down the same treacherous road she once traveled. Hayes, an attractive, 23-year-old with an engaging smile, caught the eye of Mayor Martha S. Wood because of an essay Hayes wrote for her English class at Forsyth Technical Community College. Wood later named her to fill a seat on the Housing Authority of Winston-Salem's Board of Commissioners. The essay told of the trials and tribu lations of drug addiction. "I didn't know what I was writing; it just came out like that," Hayes said. When asked what impressed her most about Hayes, the mayor said: "She seems bright and alert and interested - alert in the sense that she's aware of the issues." The English teacher was a friend of Evelyn Terry, a grant administrator with the Housing Authority. Terry knew Wood. That's part of Hayes' present and future. But there's a part of Hayes' past that caused her to pour out her heart in that essay r She grew up in poverty on the town's north side ? the first girl and fifth child of six children. Although there was a scarcity of some of the essentials, the household didn't lack for love, she said. ~ Still, as she reflects on it today, there was something wrong about her life because she started getting into trouble.
